The DogDirected by Allison Berg and François Keraudren, USA, Drafthouse Films96% Fresh | AV Club: "As a portrait of a life lived strangely-and if you asked its subject, perfectly, with no regrets-'The Dog' is charming."

Directed by Mitra Farahani, Iran, Music Box Films100% Fresh | Village Voice: "Never less than addictively fascinating - Mohassess's story is a heroic torch of individualism battling mad-state ideology, from the Shah to the mullahs, and his autumnal stance toward all things non-Mohassess is hilariously derisive."
